The following form is a sample provision for personnel or employee manuals or handbooks regarding the Family and Medical Leave Act. Wake North Carolina Family and Medical Leaves of Absence Provisions for Personnel or Employee Manual or Handbook Introduction: The Wake North Carolina Family and Medical Leaves of Absence Provisions serve as an essential component of the Personnel or Employee Manual or Handbook. This comprehensive set of guidelines ensures that employees of Wake North Carolina have access to leaves of absence for family and medical purposes. Recognizing the significance of work-life balance, these provisions aim to support employees during critical life events while safeguarding their employment rights. Key Provisions: 1. Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA): The Wake North Carolina Family and Medical Leaves of Absence provisions adhere to the federal FMLA guidelines. Under this provision, eligible employees are entitled to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specific family and medical reasons. The FMLA grants up to 12 workweeks of leave in a 12-month period for the birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child, caring for a family member with a serious health condition, or when the employee's own serious health condition renders them unable to perform their job duties. 2. North Carolina Family and Medical Leave (NFL): In addition to the FMLA, the Wake North Carolina Family and Medical Leaves of Absence provisions encompass the NFL, which grants eligible employees an additional four unpaid weeks of leave within a 12-month period. This provision extends the coverage of the FMLA by allowing employees to take leave to care for a child, spouse, or parent with a serious health condition. 3. Parental Leave: Wake North Carolina employees may be entitled to parental leave, which offers unpaid time off to bond with a newborn, adopted, or fostered child. While parental leave does not fall under the FMLA or NFL guidelines, the organization recognizes the importance of supporting employees during this milestone and provides a specific provision for parental leave, granted at the discretion of the employer. 4. Leave for Military Family Members: Wake North Carolina also acknowledges the importance of supporting employees with family members who serve in the military. Under the provisions outlined in the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (SERRA), eligible employees may take unpaid leave to address qualifying exigencies arising from a covered military member's deployment or to care for a covered service member with a serious injury or illness. 5. Leave Approval and Notification: To avail themselves of these leaves of absence, employees must follow the designated procedures outlined in the Wake North Carolina Employee Manual or Handbook. They must provide advanced notice to their supervisors or the Human Resources department and complete the appropriate documentation required for leave approval. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in the denial or delay of leave. Conclusion: The Family and Medical Leaves of Absence Provisions in the Wake North Carolina Employee Manual or Handbook encompass a wide range of leaves, including the FMLA, NFL, parental leave, and military family leave. These provisions demonstrate the organization's commitment to fostering a supportive work environment and ensuring the well-being of employees facing various family and medical circumstances.
